Sorry, Pinkie Pie haters. Trololololol! xD! Also, SHIP. Alone Again [Chapter 2] 'Pinkie! PINKIE HELP ME!' As the ghost began to get closer to the blue pegasus, Rainbow managed to get herself free. She ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was blocked by... 'Is this...Hair...?' The ghost began to fly over to the terrified mare. Rainbow Dash had no choice but to rip off the hair in her path. Frustration was filled inside of her; she had to get back to Pinkie. Soon enough, Rainbow pushed herself through the door. She fell flat onto the ground - she looked behind her and watched the ghost disappear before her. 'Dashie! Dashie, are you okay?' Dash looked next to her. Pinkie ran over to her. Rainbow Dash felt anger fill inside of her. 'NO, I'M NOT OKAY!' Pinkie jumped back at the sudden shout from Dash. 'YOU SAID THAT WE WOULD ALWAYS BE TOGETHER, YOU LIAR! I NEARLY DIED IN THERE! ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE GONE! WHY DIDN'T YOU COME BACK SOONER?! YOU MADE ME DEAL WITH A-' Pinkie was on the urge of crying. She had never seen Rainbow like this before. Rainbow saw what she had done. 'P-Pinkie I-' 'I just wanted you to be safe...I KNOW THE REAL DASHIE WOULDN'T SAY THAT!' Pinkie ran off into the eternal darkness. 'PINKIE W-WAIT!' Rainbow saw she was gone. She felt like crying...She was alone again... 'I-I'm sorry...W-Why did I say all those horrible things...I didn't mean them...' Rainbow began to walk in the same direction Pinkie had ran in. She saw a broken staircase and began to walk steadily up them. CREEEEAK... Rainbow saw that she had made it to the top of the stairs. She felt like it was going to last forever; blood and guts were all over the place. She was delighted when she saw hope. Another door. It was open, proving that someone...Or something...Had gone in there. She rushed in. 'Pinkie? You in here? I came to apologize...About my outburst...' Rainbow Dash heard a creak. She jumped; it sounded like... ...Rope...? 'Huh? Pinkie?' Rainbow began to open the only closed stall. Slowly...Painfully...She gasped... 'P-P-PINKIE!' A rope was tied around her neck. 'Pin...kie....WHY?!' Rainbow fell onto the ground like the sight before her was pushing her down. 'NO! WHY! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?! JUST A MINUTE AGO YOU WERE LAUGHING AND SMILING! YOU SAID THAT WE WOULD GET OUT OF HERE TOGETHER! WHY, PINKIE?!' Chokes began to cough out of Pinkie's mouth. Rainbow looked up. There was light in this darkness maybe after all! 'Pinkie! You're alive!' Pinkie found it impossible to breath. Or talk in that matter. She managed to escape something out: 'So...rry...' 'NO! Don't apologize! I should be the one apologizing! I need to get you out of here!' Rainbow Dash flew up to where the rope was being hung. She unhooked it, making the earth pony fall onto the ground. She flew back down and untied the rope; she hugged her friend. 'I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean for this to happen...' Pinkie weakly smiled at her friend. 'I-It's okay Dashie, I forgive you...' Sweetie Belle [Chapter 3]Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.Pain [Chapter 4]Zephyr and Fluttershy had bumped into Flash. His ocean blue eyes looked up at them. 'Oh, hey guys.' 'What are you looking at?' Zephyr asked. Flash held up his phone. 'This one looks fresh, right?' Zephyr was disgusted at the picture he was being shown. 'U-Uh...Yeah...' Flash continued to flick through his photos. Zephyr and Fluttershy stayed completely silent. 'Should we split up...?' Zephyr asked. Flash nodded his head, still looking at the pictures of the corpses. Zephyr looked at Fluttershy, who just shrugged. They began to walk down the corridor until suddenly Flash said: 'Oh, you might wanna watch out too. This place is haunted; full of ghosts.' 'G-Ghosts?' Fluttershy and Zephyr said in horror. Flash nodded. 'They're the ghosts of little fillies and colts. Seen them attacking students.' Fluttershy and Zephyr slowly backed away. They didn't want to talk about this any longer. *** 'Ugh!' Applejack began to grunt. Pain was filling her head and she couldn't bear it any longer. Caramel rushed over. 'Applejack, what's wrong?!' 'MY HEAD! IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE! I CAN'T...I CAN'T...I can't...AHHHH' 'AJ, pull yourself together!' Caramel turned around and screamed. An orange colt was giggling. His eyes were just plain black and he drooled blood. His purple mane was messed up and all over the place. 'D-Don't make eye contact, Caramel! It'll only make it worse!' 'Got i-YAH!' As Caramel turn around, the colt was right in front of him. His plain black eyes pierced into his soul. The yellow stallion yelped. 'GET AWAY FROM ME!' 'Who is going to die first? Apple or Caramel?' 'We're dead.' Applejack quietly said to herself. 'Apple it is!' The colt began to limp over to Applejack. She felt a cold hoof touch her shoulder. Buzzing echoed into her spine. 'Bye bye, Apple!' 'GET OFF OF HER!' 'Well then, Caramel dies first!' Before he knew it, the orange colt began to vanish. Applejack collapsed onto the floor and began to breath heavily. 'AJ! AJ, are you okay?' 'C-Caramel...' Caramel looked behind him. A white unicorn smiled gently at him. 'D-Did you save us?' 'Yes. I came here a while ago and died.' Caramel felt a shiver rush through his body. 'I...I came here to try and find someone very important to me...My friends...' Applejack looked up at the young spirit near them. 'A-Are you by any chance...Sweetie Belle...?' Caramel was puzzled. 'You know her?' 'I was friends with her sister. She was the one who gave me the charm.' Applejack turned back to the unicorn, who's emerald green eyes shone in the darkness. 'Your sister said you were a very sweet filly.' 'That's nice of her. You see, I had come here to hide from her. S-She was really rude to me...And I had heard my friends were here...I was soon killed and the school was torn down.' 'Then how did we get here?' Caramel asked. 'It's possible you've gone back in time.' 'Can we get out?' Caramel asked again. 'About that: back then when I was still alive, I exhausted my energy desperately looking for a way to escape, but we were inside a closed space that happens to be inside Crystal Empire. The space is maintained by the spirits of those four foals from that incident. 'You mean...?' 'Yes...The foals in the newspaper. My friends...They are two of them...' 'The colt was one of them too.' Applejack thought aloud. 'Yes...' 'There is one way to get out of here though...' Caramel and Applejack got their hopes back again. They stood straighter than before, telling Sweetie Belle that they wanted to hear. 'You must appease the spirits of the foals.' 'How in Celestia do we do that?' Caramel asked. 'I suggest that you track down the murderer first. You have to try and get a confession out of him.' 'A confession? Do me and Applejack seriously have to deal with this?' Caramel inquired rudely. 'Are our other friends here too?' Applejack added on. Sweetie Belle nodded. 'I sensed 9 souls come here earlier; they are all okay apart from one...Who is unconscious.' '9 souls...That means everyone is here!' Applejack exclaimed happily, 'Let's go find them!' 'That would be impossible.' The two looked back at the spirit. 'Thanks to the terrible power of this school, there are multiple closed spaces. Even if you are just a few inches away from them, you will never meet.' 'Impossible.' Applejack said quietly. 'It's true.' 'H-How am I supposed to get to my friends and my cousin?' Applejack asked. 'Your cousin is unconscious and is with your blue pegasus friend. As for your friends, they are safe.' Sweetie Belle started to fade away. 'H-Hey, wait!' Caramel tried to get her back, but it was no use. He sighed as he thought how pointless it was. 'Hey, what's this?' Applejack picked up a small doll that laid on the dusty floor. She examined it as she followed Caramel down the silent and uncomfortable corridor. Author's Note Just so you know, the orange colt/Ryou was Tender Taps. Protect Me [Chapter 6]Flash Sentry continued to look through the pictures of corpses he had. 'Twilight...Where are you..?' he asked himself as he looked at the picture of Twilight he took, 'Your smile, your voice...You're the one protecting me...Where could you be...? Don't leave me by myself!' The orange pegasus changed the photo. Another corpse picture came up as he admired it. 'I really like this one,' he said to himself, 'It's just a chunk of flesh. It's hard to believe that this was even a pony!' he grinned evilly. 'Come on, Flash, snap out of it! You need to find Twilight!' he hit his hoof onto his forehead, but he couldn't help but look at the photo. RING RING Flash jumped as he looked at his phone. RING RING He glared at the electronic. Why was it ringing? How? There was no service... 'I-Is it broken?' Flash asked himself. He answered the phone and put it against his ear. He heard buzzing - kind of like a static. 'Mnn...I hear something on the line...' he said to himself. 'Don't look...Don't look...Don't look...' 'H-Huh...?!' 'Don't look...' 'T-Twilight...? Is that you?!' 'Don't look...At my insides...' Flash screamed. *** 'Can't go in here either. It's locked.' Fluttershy stood next to Zephyr, waiting to find a room to sleep in. She was tired. 'Zephyr, what's that?' Fluttershy stood there and stared at a young, pink alicorn. She had a purple and blue mane with a sea turquoise eye colour. She smiled at the siblings. 'It's one of the ghosts that Flash mentioned,' Zephyr said, 'Are you lost too?' 'Mnn...' She did a hoof gesture which meant 'Follow me' and started walking down the never-ending corridor. 'She wants us to follow her.' Fluttershy said. The two pegasi started following the young filly. She stopped near a large door and opened it. The two gasped. 'She lead us outside...' Fluttershy said. They walked out. As they were walking, Fluttershy saw a tiny bunny in the bush. She wanted to go calm it; it looked scared. 'Zephyr...Can I go calm that bunny down?' Zephyr looked at the bunny that Fluttershy was pointing at. He sighed gently and nodded, 'Just promise you won't go into the woods. I'll be in here, if you see something, just scream, okay?' Fluttershy nodded and turned to the young filly. She smiled, knowing that children like small animals, 'Would you like to come with me?' The filly nodded and followed Fluttershy over to the bush. Zephyr went back inside but soon saw a black wallet on the ground. He picked it up and read who it belonged to. 'Discord Chaos.' A piece of paper soon fell onto the floor. He eyed the piece of paper; 'He must of did the charm as well.' *** 'Give it back...' Fluttershy yelped when she heard an unfamiliar voice. She looked around, no sight of the pink alicorn. 'She...She left me!' 'Give it back...' Fluttershy looked at the bush. A yellow earth pony filly, with only one eye, sadly limped over to Fluttershy, 'Give it BACK!' *** AHHHHH! 'Fluttershy!' Zephyr shouted. He rushed to the door and tried to open it. He failed. 'heheHEheHE...' ** Fluttershy rushed back inside. 'Zephyr! Zephyr Breeze, where are you?! ANSWER ME!' ** 'If we are in closed spaces, we may not be able to see each other. I just hope my cousin is okay.' 'You really love your family, don't you AJ?' Caramel said. Applejack nodded. 'When I heard that Applebloom was murdered, I was distraught. Granny Smith died ages ago and Big Mac...I never saw him again...Pinkie's basically the only one left. If she's gone, I don't know what I would do.' 'Huh, well, changing the subject, isn't Sombra the one who killed those kids?' Applejack nodded. 'This doll belonged to him. Perhaps we could use it to get a confession out of him.' 'Still, that's one creepy doll. I can't stop shaking the fact that it could talk any minute now.' Caramel rejected the thought. 'I'm...so...rry...' Applejack froze in fear. 'I'm...so...rry...I'm...so...rry...' Caramel walked over, 'What's wrong?' 'The doll, it just talked!' 'That's ridiculous, AJ! Dolls can't talk. I meant it as a jo-' 'I'm...so...rry...' Caramel stopped everything, 'aa...aaa...aaAAAAAH!' 'Caramel, stop screaming! I think this is the confession!' 'I'm...so...rry...for...killing those foals...I was...out of my mind...I didn't...want to kill or hurt...anyone...I was scared...too...' After listening to the confession, Applejack spotted something. It was old, kind of like a pouch. 'Hey, Caramel, what's in that?' Caramel picked up the tiny bag and read the name tag. 'Tender Taps...' 'That name...That's one of the victims!' Applejack exclaimed happily. 'Wait...Tender Taps...Wasn't that the little brat that we ran into earlier?' 'Give...it back...' The First Appease [Chapter 7]'Give...it back...' The two earth ponies yelped. They turned around to see the same orange colt they saw earlier. 'Please...Give it back...That's mine...' 'That's he talking about AJ?' 'I don't know...' 'Give it back...' 'Kid, what do you want?!' 'Give...it back...THAT'S MINE!' Tender Taps soon jumped onto Applejack. His hooves wrapped around her neck in a viscous way, making her choke. 'GIVE IT!' Applejack grabbed the small pouch. She gave it to him, making him let go. 'Y-You...you found my tongue...' The orange colt soon turned into a ghostly white. He started to float into the heavens, making it positive that he was no longer trapped. Applejack breathed heavily. 'You okay, AJ?' Applejack nodded. 'What was that, anyway?' he asked. 'The thing we found...The murderer stole it from his mouth...' 'His tongue?!' Applejack nodded, making Caramel nearly puke. 'There are 3 more. We should be free after that.' *** 'Hey, AJ, you were pretty awesome. You fought against those ghosts and weren't even scared a little!' 'What do you mean? I was just pushing myself! Besides...It was quite difficult to give a tongue back to my own sister...' 'Just one more kid. What was it, Flurryheart?' Applejack nodded, 'We still need to find her tongue, but I doubt she'll be able to get put to rest with just that.' 'Well, let's get finding then!' Returning (P1) [Chapter 11]Caramel opened his soft blue eyes. He gasped when he realized where he was...It was familiar... 'I-Isn't this our classroom...?' He sat up and listened to the silence. His ear twitched gently as he looked at Applejack. 'Applejack? Applejack, wake up!' The orange pony murmured silent sounds as she gently opened her green eyes. 'J-Just five more minutes...' Applejack's eyes widened as she sat up and eyed the familiar objects around her. 'Y-You're kidding...' Applejack said in disbelief. 'This is no joke, AJ.' 'We're really back?!' 'Yup! Looks liked we're the only ones here too. Guess the others haven't made it ye-' A loud scream escaped Applejack's mouth as she stared at the tiled floor. A gaping hole revealed the other world as a puff of purple smoke escaped it. It soon died down revealing... Applejack's screams transformed into gasps. She couldn't believe who she was seeing. 'A-Applebloom...' Caramel was starting to get scared. He knew the ghost was related to his friend; he couldn't be rude. 'This is like that day. It was dark and rainy on that day too...' Applebloom had began to say. 'Wh-What do you mean?' Applejack asked. 'I'm talking about the day when I was kidnapped. I had fought with Big Macintosh.' Applejack gasped, 'That was probably why I never saw him again.' 'I didn't want to see him again - I knew I was going to see him a lot at the farm; instead of going home, I stayed and watched the rain pour. Mr. Sombra came to me and I told him about what happened. All he did was respond with "nod nods" as he couldn't talk that well.' Tears started to race down from Applebloom's tears. 'A-Applejack...I'm sorry...' Applejack couldn't help but feel sorry for her younger sister. Yes, she did become a murderer, but it couldn't of been her fault...Right? Applebloom gently wiped her eyes with her hoof and continued, 'Thank you...for what you did to us. It makes us happy how you took the time to put our souls to rest.' 'Why are you here then? We sent you back.' Caramel asked rudely but calmly. 'We're sorry...but not yet...' Applebloom added, ignoring the question that Caramel asked. 'But...we got your tongues back...and we got the confession...I thought...' 'That wasn't enough.' 'What the doll said wasn't enough?' Applebloom shook her head. Caramel was starting to get angry, 'Why would you trap people in the place you was killed in and make them suffer?! You brought us there, I'm guessing. I demand an explanation!' 'But you have got it all wrong...' 'Huh?!' 'We were just used to get the closed spaces together.' 'HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU KILLED WITH YOUR HOOVES?!' Caramel shouted. 'Caramel, calm down! Give her a chance!' Applejack reassured the yellow earth pony. Caramel growled in annoyance as he continued to listen. Applebloom smiled. 'Applejack, I'm just happy you and your friend is okay.' 'Why are you suddenly interested in whether we are okay or not?' Caramel asked bitterly. Applejack turned to Caramel. 'I know why.' 'Huh?' 'She's regretful of what she did. Her spirit was left behind after a violent end. The best way to describe it to a normal living pony is that it's like straddling the borderline of sanity and madness. That's why your head would have been filled with all kinds of conflicting thoughts and feelings.' Caramel gasped, 'So that's why...' Applejack turned back to Applebloom. Her pear green pupils grew to beg and plead. 'Please...Please help our friends, Applebloom! Celestia, Zephyr, anyone who is alive! Please take them back to the world that they belong to!' Applebloom's eyes began to water. She closed them gently as she shook her head, 'I cannot do that, I'm afraid.' 'Why not?' 'The curse's power got weak for a minute so I took that chance to bring both of you back here. It's just... that place got filled up with so much sadness and sorrow...so everything in there started getting swallowed up by its terrifying power. That goes for me too, soon I'll go back to being a scary ghost who attacks ponies who get trapped there without any mercy.' Caramel was shocked at what he was hearing. He gasped in fright as he took a step back. 'We have to put an end to this!' Applejack yapped as she looked at Caramel. She turned back to Applebloom, 'Is there anyway we can communicate to Zephyr and the others to save them?' Applebloom looked at the silver ceiling in thought. She looked back at Applejack, adding a gentle nod in reply, 'There may be one way.' 'What do we have to do?' Caramel asked. 'You have to come back to Crystal Empire Elementary with me; from there you have to finish putting our spirits to rest because I believe that without us the spaces will fall apart.' Returning (P2) [Chapter 12]'You have to come back to Crystal Empire Elementary with me; from there you have to finish putting our spirits to rest because I believe that without us the spaces will fall apart.' 'YOU WANT US TO GO BACK?!' Caramel yapped, shocked at what he was hearing. In his disbelief, Applebloom nodded softly. Applejack carefully walked over to her younger sister and smiled warmly, 'Hey, don't worry about him lil sis. Say, why didn't you tell us sooner?' Applebloom looked up at her older sister, her marmalade orange eyes pierced gently into Applejack. 'I...I didn't want to remember about that day...If you really want to know...I'll show you my memories.' Before Applejack could do anything, Applebloom gently placed her hoof on her older sister's chest. A shock rushed into the orange pony, knocking her onto the ground - unconscious. *** Applejack slowly opened her pear green eyes. She felt weak, like she just woke up in the morning. 'Where am I?' She asked herself, 'I don't think I passed out, I don't feel unconscious...It's so dark...And...Why can't I move...?' Scared cries echoed through Applejack's ears. Her tired ears twitched from the sudden noise as she gasped. In front of her she saw Sombra...But how? Sombra got a cloth and began to put it over Applejack's eyes. She struggled and shouted; no help came for her. 'Or...der...' Thoughts rushed in and out of Applejack's mind. Questions followed in shortly; what order? 'Nooo! D-Don't do it! Please, don't hurt me!' 'P-Please...! Stop! P-P-Please!!' Make it stop. Please make it stop. Someone make it stop. Applejack couldn't do anything. She struggled against the strong ropes, binding her viciously on her hooves. Eeeeh...My teeth are chattering... Tears began to escape out of Applejack's eyes, making the blindfold wet. She listened to the terror and tears coming from the young foals that were being tortured right in front of her. Before she knew it, her head was forced up and her blindfold was ripped off. Applejack opened one of her eyes, making it widen. 'F-Flurryheart?!' Torture (P1) [Chapter 15]Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie sat on the cold bathroom floor. They stared at the walls, which were now covered in nothing but cobwebs and dust. CRAAAACCCCKKKK The floor began to collapse into pieces, making the two fall and crash into an unknown room. *** 'Ugh...Where am I now...' Rainbow Dash groaned as she carefully stood up, examining the room. She couldn't see a thing; she tried to take her phone out for light, but failed when she realized that she had thrown it away. You're completely alone in this school Rainbow Dash felt her eyes sting as tears started to pour out. Sobbing echoed through the room as she covered a face with her wings. *** 'Where am I? Where did she take me?!' Zephyr looked around the room; he eyed a phone and picked it up. 'It's Dash's phone...' sob sob The crying whistled and echoed through the room. Zephyr spotted the hole and looked down it in concern. 'Is anypony down there?' *** 'Is anypony down there?' Rainbow Dash looked up and saw hope. She gasped happily. 'Dash?!' Zephyr called down as he flew towards her, 'Are you alright?' The blue pegasus began to cry again, 'Stupid, stupid! You should have come sooner!' Zephyr looked at her hoof. It was covered in a bandage which was nearly peeling off and covered in dirt. 'I see you hurt your hoof.' 'Y-Yeah...Pinkie fixed it for me.' 'Speaking of Pinkie, where is she? Wasn't she with you?' 'Oh yeah! She's right...Pinkie?' Pinkie Pie put her hoof out of a nearby pile of debris, 'I'M OKAY!' she screamed, making Dash sigh in relief. Pinkie Pie quickly hurried to the two and smiled. Zephyr looked at the pink pony's neck and frowned, 'What happened to your neck?' 'It happened because we got in an argument. It's all my fault.' Dash said, tears returning. Pinkie looked at the pegasus friend and moped slightly. She gave her a hug to try and reassure her, but failed when she saw the tears escaping. Rainbow Dash began to explain the whole story as Zephyr listened carefully. 'I'm sure it's not your fault, Dash.' Zephyr said as he put a hoof around her neck comfortingly. He smiled warmly at her before letting go and continuing to explore; Pinkie and Rainbow Dash followed after him. *** 'It looks like it's safe now...' Fluttershy began to stop running and breath heavily for energy. She turned around and squeaked. 'F-Flurryheart...?' The alicorn giggled, 'Who do you think you're talking to you damned ignorant mare?! I'll cut that filthy tongue of yours right out of your mouth!' Fluttershy gasped and began to run. Tripping multiple times, she finally made it to another room. Softly, she began to cry. She didn't want to die, she knew she was going to soon. 'Hoho, I found you, Fluttershy dear...' threatened a familiar voice happily. ** 'Zephyr? Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie? Anyone?' Applejack began to trail along the corridors once again. She soon tripped over and looked at what it was; she gasped. 'F-Flash...' *** AHHHHHHHHH!!! 'Fluttershy!' Zephyr gasped. He looked at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. 'Go save her, Zephyr. We'll be okay by ourselves.' Rainbow Dash said to him urgently. He nodded and hurried out. *** 'NO, STOP! LET ME GO!' Tears rushed out of Fluttershy's eyes as she struggled against the chains. She screamed for help. *** Zephyr continued to run. He tripped over and began to pant. 'Fluttershy...' Author's Note In the earlier chapters I forgot to describe RD falling through a hole. So...I did it now. xD The Charm [Chapter 1]Rainbow Dash opened her magenta eyes and scanned the room around her. 'Where am I...?' a groan escaped her tired mouth; 'It looks like a classroom...' She looked at the old floorboards and stared at a black purse. She picked it up and opened it, revealing a small picture of herself. 'It's my student ID...' she said as a tiny piece of paper fell out. The pegasus picked up the torn paper and gasped once the memories returned. 'Of course!' *** 'It was a rainy evening after school...Just like this one...' An orange earth pony had began to tell the story of what once was an innocent school. A slight laugh escaped her mouth as she continued. 'A school nurse, known as Nurse Redheart, lost her footing at the top of a stairway and she fell to her death. Sombra, the school's principal, loved the school like it was his child; Unfortunately for him, the school was forced to close. Depression was filled inside of the principal, so he ended his life by jumping off the school roof.' The students began to hug each other due to the terrifying story. 'The school was called Crystal Empire Elementary School.' Applejack continued, 'Canterlot Academy, which is our school, was built on top of where it once stood. No one ever heard of that school again...' Zephyr Breeze began to shiver like a cold hoof had touched his shoulder. 'A-Are you sure, Applejack?' Applejack nodded gently. 'Yes, I am sure. Ponies also say that the Crystal Empire nurse was never found...She still lurks in these very hallways...' Zephyr gasped. Rainbow Dash began to giggle at the fright which was filling the young stallion and began to tease him. 'It's okay, Zephyr!' Zephyr was still scared, however. A tingle was tapping gently on his spine. 'Isn't it time we began to head home now...?' Twilight interrupted the turquoise pegasus. 'Continue with the story!' she said excitedly. 'I don't like the sound of this...' Zephyr breathed in to try and calm down. Pinkie giggled. 'Just relax, Zephyr. You'll live! If you keep making that face, Dashie won't like you!~' Rainbow Dash's face turned a soft red. 'Wha-? Pinkie!' Pinkie Pie ignored her friend and turned back to Applejack. 'Continue with the story!' 'Okay, okay! It's said that ponies will hear a knock on the classroom door. The door would slowly slide open and a pale face would come in and say: 'Is anypony in there...?'' KNOCK KNOCK The friends jumped and gasped as they heard the quiet knock. 'Did anypony hear that?' 'It was probably our imagination!' KNOCK KNOCK Caramel was getting annoyed. 'Applejack, stop messing with us!' Applejack gasped at the sudden blame 'I swear, it's not me! I can't even find the candle!' Rainbow Dash began to fly around the room, trying to find a switch. 'Where is the light switch?!' she shouted aloud. As she said that, the door began to slide open. 'Is anypony still in there...?' Screams echoed throughout the empty room as the lights turned on, revealing none other than Celestia. 'Did I scare you?' she giggled. Twilight gleamed happily at the sight of the teacher. 'Celestia!' Zephyr laughed nervously; 'I knew it wasn't a ghost!' Rainbow Dash glared at Zephyr Breeze, who was holding her wings. 'Watch where you put your hooves!' Zephyr blushed as he let go of Rainbow Dash's wings. 'S-Sorry! Don't kill me!' Celestia smile warmly. 'How long are you planning to stay here for? I told everypony to finish up the Summer Sun Celebration and head home.' A yellow pegasus with pink, long hair entered the room. She smiled happily at Zephyr as she ran over to him. 'Zephyr!' Zephyr smiled at his younger sister. 'Oh, hello Flutters! What are you doing here?' Celestia walked over to Zephyr. 'She came to give you an umbrella.' Rainbow Dash was confused about the sudden appearance. 'No way! Fluttershy is younger than Zephyr!' Fluttershy smiled gently. 'Thank you, everypony, for taking care of my brother.' Applejack broke the reunion as she pulled out a piece of paper in the shape of a pony. 'Could we do one last thing? It's a charm called Flurry Ever After. A friend of mine gave it to me. It bonds our friendship, so even when something bad happens, we will always be friends.' Applejack smiled gently at Twilight. The friends nodded and looked at Twilight, who was now beginning to cry tears of joy. Fluttershy looked at Zephyr. 'What's going on, Zephyr?' Zephyr looked down at his younger sister. 'She's transferring to Ponyville High, Flutters.' Twilight was on the edge of the crying cliff. She smiled at her friends. 'Thank you, everypony. I'll miss you so much!' Flash took out his phone and put the camera on. 'Come on, Twilight. How long are you going to cry? Give us a smile!' Twilight cleared away her tears and smiled at the small camera. Applejack put the charm down onto the floor. 'I want you all to get in a circle and say 'Flurryheart, we beg you' 9 times. It's 9 because each person has to chant it once.' 11 seconds later... Applejack opened her lime green eyes. 'Is everypony done?' Everyone nodded at Applejack which made her smile. 'Great! Now, each of you take a piece of the Flurryheart doll.' Everyone took a piece of the doll. 'What does it mean?' Twilight asked. 'It means that everyone is always connected.' Applejack answered. Pinkie's smile widened. 'I'm SOOO keeping mine safe!' The room suddenly began to shake violently; the ponies began to scream at the unexpected dilemma. As soon as they knew it, the floor began to break, making everyone fall into darkness. *** 'Oh.' Rainbow Dash once again looked around the pitch black classroom. Without warning, pain sprung into her hoof making her yelp. 'Ow! Must of sprained it.' She looked at the holes in the plain ceiling. She remembered that she fell down something; but what? She looked behind her and an urgent signal rushed into her brain. It was Pinkie; she was relieved that she wasn't alone, but was she okay? 'Pinkie? Pinkie Pie! Open your eyes!' A cough escaped the pink pony's mouth from the dust that she had breathed it. Rainbow Dash sighed in relief. 'I-Is it lunch break already? What's the matter, Dashie?' 'Don't you 'what's the matter?' me! Remember, we did that charm!' Realization hit Pinkie right in the face. 'Oh.' Pinkie looked around the new environment in confusion. 'Where are we?' 'I don't know, maybe the charm did this. We need to find everyone!' Pinkie once again ignored her rainbow friend. 'What if we were...kidnapped?' Rainbow hit herself in the face from the stupidity of her pink friend. She sighed knowing that it was Pinkie Pie that she was talking to right now, but it was soon stopped from a cry. Or was it a giggle? 'Pinkie...Did you hear that?' 'Hear what?' 'Nevermind...' The two walked into a hallway. If you just glanced at it for a few seconds, you could believe that it was endless! Pinkie's grin was wiped off from the sudden silence around her. 'It's to quiet...' she said. 'Yeah, whatever.' Rainbow Dash began to limp down the hallway, looking at all the tiny cracks filling the halls. Pinkie watched as her friend painfully walk across the floor. 'Dashie, what happened to your hoof?' 'I just sprained it.' 'Are you okay?' 'I'm fine.' 'Also, did the tables and chairs seem really tiny to you? This could be an elementary school!' 'Yeah...' The two began to walk down the eternal corridor until they found a small room. It was full of lockers, which were covered in dust and cobwebs, and...an exit! 'Dashie, Dashie! Look, an exit!' The blue pony looked at where her friend was bouncing. she rushed over to the door and tried to open it. 'Pinkie...' 'Yeah Dashie?' 'The door is locked.' 'Are you sure?' Pinkie hopped over to the door and tried to open it, once again failing to the only hope of home. Giggles once again filled the room, making Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie jump. 'W-We should find somewhere to rest.' 'Ya think, Pinks?' -Jump to Nurse's office- Pinkie wrapped a clean bandage around Rainbow's hoof. 'And done! How does it feel?' 'It...Actually feels much better. How did you-' 'Magic!' The two began to lay on the small bed. It was uncomfortable but it was better than nothing. 'H-Hey...Dashie?' Rainbow turned to Pinkie. 'Yeah Pinks?' 'From now and onwards, will we stay as friends?' Rainbow nodded. 'Of course! Nothing can get between us.' Pinkie giggle-snorted. 'Lets always stay together.' The two stayed silent for quite a while. 'Hey, Dashie? I think I left that paper-thing in the classroom. I'm going to go get it.' Pinkie said. Rainbow jumped off the bed. 'Let me come with yo-' 'Stay off of your hoof!' Pinkie scolded, but then smiled a few seconds later. 'I'll be back before you know it!' Pinkie left the medical room, but then quickly came back. 'Let's look for an exit together when I come back.' Pinkie left the room. 'Pinkie...' Dash began to look around the room. It was full of spiders, cobwebs and holes. Rainbow pulled a face like she tasted a sour apple. 'Let's always stay together.' Dash said, imitating Pinkie's voice. A clock chimed, making Rainbow freeze in her spot. 'W-What?! WHY CAN'T I MOVE?!' A white earth pony, wearing a nurse cap, began to fly over to Rainbow. 'Please...Don't kill anymore...' Rainbow felt like she had just been killed, coming to think of it, it could happen right now. Cold. That was the only bitter thing she could feel right now. In fact, it was the only thing she could feel right now. 'Pinkie! PINKIE HELP ME!' Author's Note I know in MLP, Fluttershy is older than Zephyr but I changed it so it suits the actual thing. Yeah...xD I'm Sorry [Chapter 5]'You two are just adorable!' Twilight giggled along with the two young fillies in front of her. Celestia entered the small yet bright room and gasped. 'T-Twilight, those two fillies...' Twilight looked at her teacher and smiled. 'Celestia, there you are!' she turned back to the two fillies, pointed at Celestia and smiled. 'This is my teacher!' The two young fillies giggled quietly. 'I love going to school too!' Twilight exclaimed happily. Celestia was distraught at the sight she was seeing. 'Tw-Twilight...Snap out of it!' 'But Celestia, these young fillies aren't bad at all! I'm staying with them! 'But, Twilight, we need to find everyone; you're friends!' Twilight remembered. 'M-My friends...?' Before she could do anything, Twilight was picked up by her back hooves and into the air. She was dragged onto the wooden floor; making her scream painfully. Celestia rushed out and couldn't believe her eyes. Intestines and muscles cover the wall and blood was splattered everywhere. The back of Celestia's eyes began to sting as she fell to the floor. 'I-I couldn't save...my faithful student...' Creaking was heard behind her. Celestia turned around and before she knew it, she was knocked out. Author's Note The ghosts that Twiley was talking to were Applebloom and Scootaloo. Also, I know it's short but who cares? Discord [Chapter 8]'Zephyr Breeze! Please...answer me...' The yellow pegasus began to cry. What if she never saw her brother again? What if...what if he was dead? 'Oh, it's you; Zephyr's little sister.' Fluttershy turned back around to see an orange pegasus with blue, spiky hair; it was Flash. 'You must be thinking that I've gone insane. I know I would if I saw someone doing this-' Flash hit a corpse with the crowbar that he was holding with his wing, '-to a corpse, huh?' Fluttershy squeaked gently as Flash viciously pulled out the crowbar. The yellow pony started shaking a tiny bit. 'So, what happened to your brother, Flutters?' 'Zephyr...disappeared...' '...You're shaking...Poor thing...Come here...I'll help you find him...' 'N-No...I'm fine...I can find him by myse-' 'I just said I'll help you find him!' Flash clenched his wing and smiled evilly. Fluttershy stood there in fright, watching one of the only friends she had found...killing... 'You don't understand...do you...? Just come here and let me help you!' Fluttershy yelped and choked on her saliva. She stepped back and began to run, away from this...monster... She ran to a nearby hiding place and began to try and camouflage with the darkness, which was quite difficult for a bright pony like her. 'Why are you running away...? Come on...Come out...' Flash sounded like a psycho in a horror movie...come to think of it...he could be... 'You made a promise to Twilight that day...We would always be together...That's why I want to give you the same look she has on my phone!' Fluttershy quietly sobbed in her hiding space. Tears raced down her now puffed out cheeks as she covered her mouth, trying to make her quiet. 'Zephyr...where are you...' Fluttershy whispered. 'Hoho, playing hide and seek, I see?' Fluttershy jumped and looked up to see a draconequus looking at her. 'You were saying Zephyr, my dear...but...' '...Y-Yes...! I got separated from my big brother!' The draconequus helped Fluttershy up, 'I'm looking for my sister, too. My name is Discord. Discord Chaos. I'm a 2nd year at Ponyville High.' 'I-I'm Fluttershy...' *** Discord and Fluttershy walked down the corridor. 'Did you perform the Flurry Ever After charm and get stuck here too?' Discord asked. 'Um...That's...I don't know...' 'I told you to COME HERE!' The two turned around to see Flash once again. His grin was insane as he held his crowbar. Fluttershy hid behind Discord. 'Isn't he an acquaintance of yours?' 'P-Please help me, Discord!' 'So that's why you were hiding...' Discord angrily looked at Flash, who held up his crowbar for defense, 'Who the hell are you?' Flash asked, 'Do you want to join Twilight in this phone as well? Hehe...That's WONDERFUL!' Discord protectively looked down at Fluttershy, 'You stay here, Fluttershy.' Discord ran over to Flash before stabbing him in the neck with the knife he had in his claw. Flash coughed up blood as Fluttershy gasped in shock. The knife cut deeper into the artery until Discord pulled the knife out. Blood sprayed all over his face before Flash fell onto the floor; dead. 'Your brother will always protect you...' Fluttershy gasped after Discord added on: 'After all, you are my precious, younger sister...' What a Fright [Chapter 9]Discord took a picture of the dead Flash, with Flash's phone, before throwing it back to him. He smiled evilly as he turned to Fluttershy. 'We can't escape here. We're all going to die; I decided that our last final moments together...We shall die together as siblings...' Fluttershy began to panic. 'Don't panic, my dear. I'm just helping you...' *** The school began to shake. 'This is a big one!' Caramel began to scream. 'Caramel!' Rectangular pieces of wood began to fall off and crash down onto the pair. *** Rainbow Dash just sat there, holding the unconscious Pinkie in her arms. She didn't know what to do whilst her friend was not awake. RING RING Rainbow Dash looked up and got her phone. She was confused as to how the phone was working with no signal, but answered it anyway. 'Hello?' 'Please...Someone...Help me...' The blue pegasus gasped at the sound of the headteacher. She looked at her phone until she heard the sound of someone she knew. 'Dash?' 'F-Father? Father!' 'Dash, is that you?' 'Yes, father! It's me! 'Dash! Please, talk to me!' Rainbow Dash gasped. Could her father not hear her? 'Dash, let me at least hear your voice...Please!' 'Dad! Dad, can you not hear my voice?!' Rainbow Dash's dad began to cry. Dash heard this and felt her eyes get wet. 'P-Please...Dash...Say something!' No matter how many times the rainbow pony tried to speak to her father, he would not hear her. Soon enough, she heard a quiet beep and heard the headteacher talk to her once again. Rainbow Dash dropped her phone and began to cry from the fright that was fulfilling her. 'D-Dashie...? What's wrong...?' Rainbow Dash looked at her pink friend, who was smiling weakly at her. 'P-Pinkie, you're awake now!' Rainbow Dash hugged her friend from the pleasant sight of being happy again. Author's Note I know in the actual thing, Naomi's mum is the one who talks to her, but as no one really knows Rainbow's true mum, I put it as her dad. ouo Huh? [Chapter 10]Zephyr Breeze sat on the mangled floor. 'They were only able to save one girl...Flurryheart...' The turquoise pegasus looked at the picture. It was a young, pink alicorn filly. 'Wasn't that the same filly from earlier? But...How? How would she be here as a ghost if she survived?' He looked at the other students pictures and sighed, 'I hope Flutters is okay...She was with that filly...' *** Fluttershy began running down the twisted corridor. She yelped for help, but no help came for her. 'One second, Fluttershy dear, I'll be there...' 'N-No! Zephyr!' Fluttershy continued to race down the nightmare. She was afraid of the dark, but she would prefer it more than this. 'I'm right here...my dear...' Fluttershy began to cry. She was going to die; she knew she was going to die. 'Zephyr...This way...' Fluttershy looked at the same pink alicorn as before. She smiled, knowing that she found someone she can trust. She followed the alicorn. 'Fluttershy, my adorable pony, where are you?~' Discord cooed, 'I'll kill you, my dear!' *** 'Ugh, of course the door is jammed.' Zephyr continuously tried to open the door, but no luck was found, 'I won't let this stop me!' 'To worry so much about someone...' Zephyr felt his bones shake. He turned around, only to see a white unicorn, 'Who are you?' 'I am Sweetie Belle, a ghost of somepony who died here a while ago.' she answered. Zephyr replied with a stuttered 'O-Oh...' 'Happiness and unhappiness share a link.' 'Oh?' 'You and your friends performed the Flurry Ever After charm. You did this to stay together, though someone messed it up.' 'Who?!' 'One of your friends chanted it one too many times.' 'No way! Everyone counted it 9 times!' Sweetie Belle shook her head. 'Maybe you did, but someone else didn't. Maybe they thought it would of been boring to do it correctly.' 'Eh?' 'If it was in fact not done on purpose then someone in your group was entirely too careless with it, wouldn't you agree?' Zephyr gasped. 'They must of never thought about something like this...' 'Stop with these lies!' Zephyr shouted angrily. 'I just want to remind you about the fact that the piece of paper you have...from the doll. It's really important. You must keep it safe.' 'I'm in an hurry; please leave me alone now.' 'You're really noble; your feelings for your friends are really strong.' 'Oh?' 'The charm comes from your heart - someones feelings.' Sweetie Belle began to chant some words which Zephyr couldn't understand. Her horn glowed as she began to make him disappear. Zephyr gasped. 'S-Stop it!' Returning (P3) [Chapter 13]'Flurryheart...Why is it you?' Flurryheart giggled insanely, 'Heeeeen~ I'm going to kill you now, okay?' Before the orange earth pony could do anything, a pair of scissors hit her straight in the eye. Blood drooled down from her eye as pain rushed through her. Screams escaped her mouth as Flurryheart quickly pulled her pear green eye out. With her only eye left, Applejack looked at the cowering Sombra in the corner before being knocked out once again. *** 'Applejack, Applejack!' Applejack opened her eyes. Her eyes were blurred from the tears that were pouring down like rain on a cold evening. She looked up at Caramel, who was worryingly looking at her back. He sighed in relief as he hugged her gently. 'You up to telling me what you saw?' He asked her. Applejack looked at Caramel right in the eyes gently, nodding. 'Those kids...They were killed by someone else...' 'Hm?' 'The confession...it was from the wrong person.' 'Seriously...?' Applejack nodded; tears drying slowly as she did so. 'I witnessed...Applebloom's death...The real murderer is Flurryheart...The pink alicorn in the newspaper.' Caramel squeaked in disbelief, 'There's no way she could of kidnapped 3 children her age. It has to be that ma-' 'Sombra was there as an accomplice. It was still actually Flurryheart who murdered all the foals with scissors, and he just sat in the corner cowering while it happened. I don't know why he would of helped, but that's not important right now.' Applejack's frown turned into a more serious face, 'We need to tell Rainbow Dash and the others. If they get anywhere near Flurry...' Applejack shivered gently. She turned back to Applebloom, who pulled a straight face - wondering on what's going on. 'Applebloom, I need you to take me back.' Returning (P4) [Chapter 14]'You want to do WHAT NOW?!' Caramel yapped continuously at the stupid idea Applejack had just mentioned aloud; Applejack ignored him. 'I promise I'll put you and the others to rest at last, Applebloom.' Applebloom's orange eyes shone in the bright light. She looked up at Applejack in a serious way, 'You know, you shouldn't go back. There was you and your friends messing around so much and all that, the spaces we victims were holding together got all unbalanced. If you were to go back...' Applejack carefully crouched down to Applebloom's height. She stared into her eyes and smiled, 'Applebloom...' 'If I take you there, I don't know if you'll be able to come back...' Applejack gasped quietly. Caramel was protective; 'You really want to go back...?' 'Let's go, Caramel. We need to save our frien-' 'I'm sorry, but I'm OUT!' Applejack's gasp got louder, 'C-Caramel...' 'Just going back to that place is insane! THAT PLACE IS A DEATH TRAP, THAT'S ALL IT IS. HOW CAN YOU NOT GET THAT, APPLEJACK?!' 'Oh yeah, screw everyone else and keep yourself safe; HOW SELFISH CAN YOU BE?!' 'Applejack, nothing you say will change my mind. I'm to young to die-' 'Well, I'll just go by myself then! I guess I was wrong about ya! If Rainbow Dash was here, she would probably go and save us too!' 'I don't care.' Caramel turned around and eyed the wall. 'Weakling! Coward! Spineless!' 'SHUT UP, APPLEJACK!' Applejack gasped. Caramel continued to blabber on about the whole argument. Applejack rolled her eyes in annoyance, 'Now hold on, why would you even say a thing like that to me, huh?! Well guess what, I'm going!' The freckled pony turned to Applebloom and smiled. 'Please, take me back there alone.' Applejack said, making alone bold and clear. 'I understand.' Applebloom began to make a hole to the other realm. Applejack started to walk in. 'You know, I'm just about afraid of death as you are.' she said to Caramel before disappearing, leaving Caramel alone. Torture (P2) [Chapter 16]Fluttershy began to choke on her own saliva once again. She couldn't scream anymore. Her eye was torn out and her back hooves were stabbed multiple times. She began to cry with the only eye she had left. 'I see...' Discord aimed the knife perfectly at her chest - at her heart. He began to pushed the knife in slowly. Fluttershy tried to scream at the pain that was rushing through her veins. She was going to die. 'STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!' A familiar pony hit Discord in the head, killing him. The pony turned to Fluttershy; it was Caramel. 'Fluttershy! Hang in there, don't die.' grrraaaaaaaggghhhh... Caramel jumped and turned around. 'It's Sombra...' Applejack rushed in, 'Fluttershy!' she turned to Caramel, 'Caramel, is that you?!' 'Applejack! Take care of Fluttershy!' 'Got it!' Applejack quickly grabbed Fluttershy and rushed out of the room. AHHHHHHHHHH! 'Caramel!' Applejack gasped in worry. She turned to the door and saw Caramel limp out - eye gone. 'Applejack...Go!' 'But Caramel-' 'Hurry and get out of here! I sure as hell didn't come back here to protect myself!' Before he could do anything, Sombra soon stabbed him in the stomach. Then the mouth... Applejack screamed. 'Fluttershy! Applejack!' Applejack turned around to see Zephyr Breeze. 'What happened?' grraaaaggghhhhh... 'R-Run!' Zephyr screamed. *** Fluttershy weakly laid in Zephyr's arms. Zephyr covered her up with his wings and looked down at her. 'Zeph...yr...' Tears started to escape out of Zephyr. 'Lets...go...ho...me...to...ge...ther...' Before he knew it, Fluttershy's eye began to slowly close. She smiled as she passed on in his arms, into a new home. Zephyr began to clench his teeth as he balled his tears. 'I-I'm sorry...Fluttershy...'
Alone Again [Chapter 2]Author's Note Because Pinkie Pie is best pony. She is going to survive, unlike Seiko. Sorry, Pinkie Pie haters. Trololololol! xD! Also, SHIP. Alone Again [Chapter 2] 'Pinkie! PINKIE HELP ME!' As the ghost began to get closer to the blue pegasus, Rainbow managed to get herself free. She ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was blocked by... 'Is this...Hair...?' The ghost began to fly over to the terrified mare. Rainbow Dash had no choice but to rip off the hair in her path. Frustration was filled inside of her; she had to get back to Pinkie. Soon enough, Rainbow pushed herself through the door. She fell flat onto the ground - she looked behind her and watched the ghost disappear before her. 'Dashie! Dashie, are you okay?' Dash looked next to her. Pinkie ran over to her. Rainbow Dash felt anger fill inside of her. 'NO, I'M NOT OKAY!' Pinkie jumped back at the sudden shout from Dash. 'YOU SAID THAT WE WOULD ALWAYS BE TOGETHER, YOU LIAR! I NEARLY DIED IN THERE! ALL BECAUSE YOU WERE GONE! WHY DIDN'T YOU COME BACK SOONER?! YOU MADE ME DEAL WITH A-' Pinkie was on the urge of crying. She had never seen Rainbow like this before. Rainbow saw what she had done. 'P-Pinkie I-' 'I just wanted you to be safe...I KNOW THE REAL DASHIE WOULDN'T SAY THAT!' Pinkie ran off into the eternal darkness. 'PINKIE W-WAIT!' Rainbow saw she was gone. She felt like crying...She was alone again... 'I-I'm sorry...W-Why did I say all those horrible things...I didn't mean them...' Rainbow began to walk in the same direction Pinkie had ran in. She saw a broken staircase and began to walk steadily up them. CREEEEAK... Rainbow saw that she had made it to the top of the stairs. She felt like it was going to last forever; blood and guts were all over the place. She was delighted when she saw hope. Another door. It was open, proving that someone...Or something...Had gone in there. She rushed in. 'Pinkie? You in here? I came to apologize...About my outburst...' Rainbow Dash heard a creak. She jumped; it sounded like... ...Rope...? 'Huh? Pinkie?' Rainbow began to open the only closed stall. Slowly...Painfully...She gasped... 'P-P-PINKIE!' A rope was tied around her neck. 'Pin...kie....WHY?!' Rainbow fell onto the ground like the sight before her was pushing her down. 'NO! WHY! WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO YOURSELF?! JUST A MINUTE AGO YOU WERE LAUGHING AND SMILING! YOU SAID THAT WE WOULD GET OUT OF HERE TOGETHER! WHY, PINKIE?!' Chokes began to cough out of Pinkie's mouth. Rainbow looked up. There was light in this darkness maybe after all! 'Pinkie! You're alive!' Pinkie found it impossible to breath. Or talk in that matter. She managed to escape something out: 'So...rry...' 'NO! Don't apologize! I should be the one apologizing! I need to get you out of here!' Rainbow Dash flew up to where the rope was being hung. She unhooked it, making the earth pony fall onto the ground. She flew back down and untied the rope; she hugged her friend. 'I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean for this to happen...' Pinkie weakly smiled at her friend. 'I-It's okay Dashie, I forgive you...'
Sweetie Belle [Chapter 3]Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Pain [Chapter 4]Zephyr and Fluttershy had bumped into Flash. His ocean blue eyes looked up at them. 'Oh, hey guys.' 'What are you looking at?' Zephyr asked. Flash held up his phone. 'This one looks fresh, right?' Zephyr was disgusted at the picture he was being shown. 'U-Uh...Yeah...' Flash continued to flick through his photos. Zephyr and Fluttershy stayed completely silent. 'Should we split up...?' Zephyr asked. Flash nodded his head, still looking at the pictures of the corpses. Zephyr looked at Fluttershy, who just shrugged. They began to walk down the corridor until suddenly Flash said: 'Oh, you might wanna watch out too. This place is haunted; full of ghosts.' 'G-Ghosts?' Fluttershy and Zephyr said in horror. Flash nodded. 'They're the ghosts of little fillies and colts. Seen them attacking students.' Fluttershy and Zephyr slowly backed away. They didn't want to talk about this any longer. *** 'Ugh!' Applejack began to grunt. Pain was filling her head and she couldn't bear it any longer. Caramel rushed over. 'Applejack, what's wrong?!' 'MY HEAD! IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE! I CAN'T...I CAN'T...I can't...AHHHH' 'AJ, pull yourself together!' Caramel turned around and screamed. An orange colt was giggling. His eyes were just plain black and he drooled blood. His purple mane was messed up and all over the place. 'D-Don't make eye contact, Caramel! It'll only make it worse!' 'Got i-YAH!' As Caramel turn around, the colt was right in front of him. His plain black eyes pierced into his soul. The yellow stallion yelped. 'GET AWAY FROM ME!' 'Who is going to die first? Apple or Caramel?' 'We're dead.' Applejack quietly said to herself. 'Apple it is!' The colt began to limp over to Applejack. She felt a cold hoof touch her shoulder. Buzzing echoed into her spine. 'Bye bye, Apple!' 'GET OFF OF HER!' 'Well then, Caramel dies first!' Before he knew it, the orange colt began to vanish. Applejack collapsed onto the floor and began to breath heavily. 'AJ! AJ, are you okay?' 'C-Caramel...' Caramel looked behind him. A white unicorn smiled gently at him. 'D-Did you save us?' 'Yes. I came here a while ago and died.' Caramel felt a shiver rush through his body. 'I...I came here to try and find someone very important to me...My friends...' Applejack looked up at the young spirit near them. 'A-Are you by any chance...Sweetie Belle...?' Caramel was puzzled. 'You know her?' 'I was friends with her sister. She was the one who gave me the charm.' Applejack turned back to the unicorn, who's emerald green eyes shone in the darkness. 'Your sister said you were a very sweet filly.' 'That's nice of her. You see, I had come here to hide from her. S-She was really rude to me...And I had heard my friends were here...I was soon killed and the school was torn down.' 'Then how did we get here?' Caramel asked. 'It's possible you've gone back in time.' 'Can we get out?' Caramel asked again. 'About that: back then when I was still alive, I exhausted my energy desperately looking for a way to escape, but we were inside a closed space that happens to be inside Crystal Empire. The space is maintained by the spirits of those four foals from that incident. 'You mean...?' 'Yes...The foals in the newspaper. My friends...They are two of them...' 'The colt was one of them too.' Applejack thought aloud. 'Yes...' 'There is one way to get out of here though...' Caramel and Applejack got their hopes back again. They stood straighter than before, telling Sweetie Belle that they wanted to hear. 'You must appease the spirits of the foals.' 'How in Celestia do we do that?' Caramel asked. 'I suggest that you track down the murderer first. You have to try and get a confession out of him.' 'A confession? Do me and Applejack seriously have to deal with this?' Caramel inquired rudely. 'Are our other friends here too?' Applejack added on. Sweetie Belle nodded. 'I sensed 9 souls come here earlier; they are all okay apart from one...Who is unconscious.' '9 souls...That means everyone is here!' Applejack exclaimed happily, 'Let's go find them!' 'That would be impossible.' The two looked back at the spirit. 'Thanks to the terrible power of this school, there are multiple closed spaces. Even if you are just a few inches away from them, you will never meet.' 'Impossible.' Applejack said quietly. 'It's true.' 'H-How am I supposed to get to my friends and my cousin?' Applejack asked. 'Your cousin is unconscious and is with your blue pegasus friend. As for your friends, they are safe.' Sweetie Belle started to fade away. 'H-Hey, wait!' Caramel tried to get her back, but it was no use. He sighed as he thought how pointless it was. 'Hey, what's this?' Applejack picked up a small doll that laid on the dusty floor. She examined it as she followed Caramel down the silent and uncomfortable corridor. Author's Note Just so you know, the orange colt/Ryou was Tender Taps.
Protect Me [Chapter 6]Flash Sentry continued to look through the pictures of corpses he had. 'Twilight...Where are you..?' he asked himself as he looked at the picture of Twilight he took, 'Your smile, your voice...You're the one protecting me...Where could you be...? Don't leave me by myself!' The orange pegasus changed the photo. Another corpse picture came up as he admired it. 'I really like this one,' he said to himself, 'It's just a chunk of flesh. It's hard to believe that this was even a pony!' he grinned evilly. 'Come on, Flash, snap out of it! You need to find Twilight!' he hit his hoof onto his forehead, but he couldn't help but look at the photo. RING RING Flash jumped as he looked at his phone. RING RING He glared at the electronic. Why was it ringing? How? There was no service... 'I-Is it broken?' Flash asked himself. He answered the phone and put it against his ear. He heard buzzing - kind of like a static. 'Mnn...I hear something on the line...' he said to himself. 'Don't look...Don't look...Don't look...' 'H-Huh...?!' 'Don't look...' 'T-Twilight...? Is that you?!' 'Don't look...At my insides...' Flash screamed. *** 'Can't go in here either. It's locked.' Fluttershy stood next to Zephyr, waiting to find a room to sleep in. She was tired. 'Zephyr, what's that?' Fluttershy stood there and stared at a young, pink alicorn. She had a purple and blue mane with a sea turquoise eye colour. She smiled at the siblings. 'It's one of the ghosts that Flash mentioned,' Zephyr said, 'Are you lost too?' 'Mnn...' She did a hoof gesture which meant 'Follow me' and started walking down the never-ending corridor. 'She wants us to follow her.' Fluttershy said. The two pegasi started following the young filly. She stopped near a large door and opened it. The two gasped. 'She lead us outside...' Fluttershy said. They walked out. As they were walking, Fluttershy saw a tiny bunny in the bush. She wanted to go calm it; it looked scared. 'Zephyr...Can I go calm that bunny down?' Zephyr looked at the bunny that Fluttershy was pointing at. He sighed gently and nodded, 'Just promise you won't go into the woods. I'll be in here, if you see something, just scream, okay?' Fluttershy nodded and turned to the young filly. She smiled, knowing that children like small animals, 'Would you like to come with me?' The filly nodded and followed Fluttershy over to the bush. Zephyr went back inside but soon saw a black wallet on the ground. He picked it up and read who it belonged to. 'Discord Chaos.' A piece of paper soon fell onto the floor. He eyed the piece of paper; 'He must of did the charm as well.' *** 'Give it back...' Fluttershy yelped when she heard an unfamiliar voice. She looked around, no sight of the pink alicorn. 'She...She left me!' 'Give it back...' Fluttershy looked at the bush. A yellow earth pony filly, with only one eye, sadly limped over to Fluttershy, 'Give it BACK!' *** AHHHHH! 'Fluttershy!' Zephyr shouted. He rushed to the door and tried to open it. He failed. 'heheHEheHE...' ** Fluttershy rushed back inside. 'Zephyr! Zephyr Breeze, where are you?! ANSWER ME!' ** 'If we are in closed spaces, we may not be able to see each other. I just hope my cousin is okay.' 'You really love your family, don't you AJ?' Caramel said. Applejack nodded. 'When I heard that Applebloom was murdered, I was distraught. Granny Smith died ages ago and Big Mac...I never saw him again...Pinkie's basically the only one left. If she's gone, I don't know what I would do.' 'Huh, well, changing the subject, isn't Sombra the one who killed those kids?' Applejack nodded. 'This doll belonged to him. Perhaps we could use it to get a confession out of him.' 'Still, that's one creepy doll. I can't stop shaking the fact that it could talk any minute now.' Caramel rejected the thought. 'I'm...so...rry...' Applejack froze in fear. 'I'm...so...rry...I'm...so...rry...' Caramel walked over, 'What's wrong?' 'The doll, it just talked!' 'That's ridiculous, AJ! Dolls can't talk. I meant it as a jo-' 'I'm...so...rry...' Caramel stopped everything, 'aa...aaa...aaAAAAAH!' 'Caramel, stop screaming! I think this is the confession!' 'I'm...so...rry...for...killing those foals...I was...out of my mind...I didn't...want to kill or hurt...anyone...I was scared...too...' After listening to the confession, Applejack spotted something. It was old, kind of like a pouch. 'Hey, Caramel, what's in that?' Caramel picked up the tiny bag and read the name tag. 'Tender Taps...' 'That name...That's one of the victims!' Applejack exclaimed happily. 'Wait...Tender Taps...Wasn't that the little brat that we ran into earlier?' 'Give...it back...'
The First Appease [Chapter 7]'Give...it back...' The two earth ponies yelped. They turned around to see the same orange colt they saw earlier. 'Please...Give it back...That's mine...' 'That's he talking about AJ?' 'I don't know...' 'Give it back...' 'Kid, what do you want?!' 'Give...it back...THAT'S MINE!' Tender Taps soon jumped onto Applejack. His hooves wrapped around her neck in a viscous way, making her choke. 'GIVE IT!' Applejack grabbed the small pouch. She gave it to him, making him let go. 'Y-You...you found my tongue...' The orange colt soon turned into a ghostly white. He started to float into the heavens, making it positive that he was no longer trapped. Applejack breathed heavily. 'You okay, AJ?' Applejack nodded. 'What was that, anyway?' he asked. 'The thing we found...The murderer stole it from his mouth...' 'His tongue?!' Applejack nodded, making Caramel nearly puke. 'There are 3 more. We should be free after that.' *** 'Hey, AJ, you were pretty awesome. You fought against those ghosts and weren't even scared a little!' 'What do you mean? I was just pushing myself! Besides...It was quite difficult to give a tongue back to my own sister...' 'Just one more kid. What was it, Flurryheart?' Applejack nodded, 'We still need to find her tongue, but I doubt she'll be able to get put to rest with just that.' 'Well, let's get finding then!'
Returning (P1) [Chapter 11]Caramel opened his soft blue eyes. He gasped when he realized where he was...It was familiar... 'I-Isn't this our classroom...?' He sat up and listened to the silence. His ear twitched gently as he looked at Applejack. 'Applejack? Applejack, wake up!' The orange pony murmured silent sounds as she gently opened her green eyes. 'J-Just five more minutes...' Applejack's eyes widened as she sat up and eyed the familiar objects around her. 'Y-You're kidding...' Applejack said in disbelief. 'This is no joke, AJ.' 'We're really back?!' 'Yup! Looks liked we're the only ones here too. Guess the others haven't made it ye-' A loud scream escaped Applejack's mouth as she stared at the tiled floor. A gaping hole revealed the other world as a puff of purple smoke escaped it. It soon died down revealing... Applejack's screams transformed into gasps. She couldn't believe who she was seeing. 'A-Applebloom...' Caramel was starting to get scared. He knew the ghost was related to his friend; he couldn't be rude. 'This is like that day. It was dark and rainy on that day too...' Applebloom had began to say. 'Wh-What do you mean?' Applejack asked. 'I'm talking about the day when I was kidnapped. I had fought with Big Macintosh.' Applejack gasped, 'That was probably why I never saw him again.' 'I didn't want to see him again - I knew I was going to see him a lot at the farm; instead of going home, I stayed and watched the rain pour. Mr. Sombra came to me and I told him about what happened. All he did was respond with "nod nods" as he couldn't talk that well.' Tears started to race down from Applebloom's tears. 'A-Applejack...I'm sorry...' Applejack couldn't help but feel sorry for her younger sister. Yes, she did become a murderer, but it couldn't of been her fault...Right? Applebloom gently wiped her eyes with her hoof and continued, 'Thank you...for what you did to us. It makes us happy how you took the time to put our souls to rest.' 'Why are you here then? We sent you back.' Caramel asked rudely but calmly. 'We're sorry...but not yet...' Applebloom added, ignoring the question that Caramel asked. 'But...we got your tongues back...and we got the confession...I thought...' 'That wasn't enough.' 'What the doll said wasn't enough?' Applebloom shook her head. Caramel was starting to get angry, 'Why would you trap people in the place you was killed in and make them suffer?! You brought us there, I'm guessing. I demand an explanation!' 'But you have got it all wrong...' 'Huh?!' 'We were just used to get the closed spaces together.' 'HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU KILLED WITH YOUR HOOVES?!' Caramel shouted. 'Caramel, calm down! Give her a chance!' Applejack reassured the yellow earth pony. Caramel growled in annoyance as he continued to listen. Applebloom smiled. 'Applejack, I'm just happy you and your friend is okay.' 'Why are you suddenly interested in whether we are okay or not?' Caramel asked bitterly. Applejack turned to Caramel. 'I know why.' 'Huh?' 'She's regretful of what she did. Her spirit was left behind after a violent end. The best way to describe it to a normal living pony is that it's like straddling the borderline of sanity and madness. That's why your head would have been filled with all kinds of conflicting thoughts and feelings.' Caramel gasped, 'So that's why...' Applejack turned back to Applebloom. Her pear green pupils grew to beg and plead. 'Please...Please help our friends, Applebloom! Celestia, Zephyr, anyone who is alive! Please take them back to the world that they belong to!' Applebloom's eyes began to water. She closed them gently as she shook her head, 'I cannot do that, I'm afraid.' 'Why not?' 'The curse's power got weak for a minute so I took that chance to bring both of you back here. It's just... that place got filled up with so much sadness and sorrow...so everything in there started getting swallowed up by its terrifying power. That goes for me too, soon I'll go back to being a scary ghost who attacks ponies who get trapped there without any mercy.' Caramel was shocked at what he was hearing. He gasped in fright as he took a step back. 'We have to put an end to this!' Applejack yapped as she looked at Caramel. She turned back to Applebloom, 'Is there anyway we can communicate to Zephyr and the others to save them?' Applebloom looked at the silver ceiling in thought. She looked back at Applejack, adding a gentle nod in reply, 'There may be one way.' 'What do we have to do?' Caramel asked. 'You have to come back to Crystal Empire Elementary with me; from there you have to finish putting our spirits to rest because I believe that without us the spaces will fall apart.'
Returning (P2) [Chapter 12]'You have to come back to Crystal Empire Elementary with me; from there you have to finish putting our spirits to rest because I believe that without us the spaces will fall apart.' 'YOU WANT US TO GO BACK?!' Caramel yapped, shocked at what he was hearing. In his disbelief, Applebloom nodded softly. Applejack carefully walked over to her younger sister and smiled warmly, 'Hey, don't worry about him lil sis. Say, why didn't you tell us sooner?' Applebloom looked up at her older sister, her marmalade orange eyes pierced gently into Applejack. 'I...I didn't want to remember about that day...If you really want to know...I'll show you my memories.' Before Applejack could do anything, Applebloom gently placed her hoof on her older sister's chest. A shock rushed into the orange pony, knocking her onto the ground - unconscious. *** Applejack slowly opened her pear green eyes. She felt weak, like she just woke up in the morning. 'Where am I?' She asked herself, 'I don't think I passed out, I don't feel unconscious...It's so dark...And...Why can't I move...?' Scared cries echoed through Applejack's ears. Her tired ears twitched from the sudden noise as she gasped. In front of her she saw Sombra...But how? Sombra got a cloth and began to put it over Applejack's eyes. She struggled and shouted; no help came for her. 'Or...der...' Thoughts rushed in and out of Applejack's mind. Questions followed in shortly; what order? 'Nooo! D-Don't do it! Please, don't hurt me!' 'P-Please...! Stop! P-P-Please!!' Make it stop. Please make it stop. Someone make it stop. Applejack couldn't do anything. She struggled against the strong ropes, binding her viciously on her hooves. Eeeeh...My teeth are chattering... Tears began to escape out of Applejack's eyes, making the blindfold wet. She listened to the terror and tears coming from the young foals that were being tortured right in front of her. Before she knew it, her head was forced up and her blindfold was ripped off. Applejack opened one of her eyes, making it widen. 'F-Flurryheart?!'
Torture (P1) [Chapter 15]Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie sat on the cold bathroom floor. They stared at the walls, which were now covered in nothing but cobwebs and dust. CRAAAACCCCKKKK The floor began to collapse into pieces, making the two fall and crash into an unknown room. *** 'Ugh...Where am I now...' Rainbow Dash groaned as she carefully stood up, examining the room. She couldn't see a thing; she tried to take her phone out for light, but failed when she realized that she had thrown it away. You're completely alone in this school Rainbow Dash felt her eyes sting as tears started to pour out. Sobbing echoed through the room as she covered a face with her wings. *** 'Where am I? Where did she take me?!' Zephyr looked around the room; he eyed a phone and picked it up. 'It's Dash's phone...' sob sob The crying whistled and echoed through the room. Zephyr spotted the hole and looked down it in concern. 'Is anypony down there?' *** 'Is anypony down there?' Rainbow Dash looked up and saw hope. She gasped happily. 'Dash?!' Zephyr called down as he flew towards her, 'Are you alright?' The blue pegasus began to cry again, 'Stupid, stupid! You should have come sooner!' Zephyr looked at her hoof. It was covered in a bandage which was nearly peeling off and covered in dirt. 'I see you hurt your hoof.' 'Y-Yeah...Pinkie fixed it for me.' 'Speaking of Pinkie, where is she? Wasn't she with you?' 'Oh yeah! She's right...Pinkie?' Pinkie Pie put her hoof out of a nearby pile of debris, 'I'M OKAY!' she screamed, making Dash sigh in relief. Pinkie Pie quickly hurried to the two and smiled. Zephyr looked at the pink pony's neck and frowned, 'What happened to your neck?' 'It happened because we got in an argument. It's all my fault.' Dash said, tears returning. Pinkie looked at the pegasus friend and moped slightly. She gave her a hug to try and reassure her, but failed when she saw the tears escaping. Rainbow Dash began to explain the whole story as Zephyr listened carefully. 'I'm sure it's not your fault, Dash.' Zephyr said as he put a hoof around her neck comfortingly. He smiled warmly at her before letting go and continuing to explore; Pinkie and Rainbow Dash followed after him. *** 'It looks like it's safe now...' Fluttershy began to stop running and breath heavily for energy. She turned around and squeaked. 'F-Flurryheart...?' The alicorn giggled, 'Who do you think you're talking to you damned ignorant mare?! I'll cut that filthy tongue of yours right out of your mouth!' Fluttershy gasped and began to run. Tripping multiple times, she finally made it to another room. Softly, she began to cry. She didn't want to die, she knew she was going to soon. 'Hoho, I found you, Fluttershy dear...' threatened a familiar voice happily. ** 'Zephyr? Rainbow Dash? Pinkie Pie? Anyone?' Applejack began to trail along the corridors once again. She soon tripped over and looked at what it was; she gasped. 'F-Flash...' *** AHHHHHHHHH!!! 'Fluttershy!' Zephyr gasped. He looked at Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. 'Go save her, Zephyr. We'll be okay by ourselves.' Rainbow Dash said to him urgently. He nodded and hurried out. *** 'NO, STOP! LET ME GO!' Tears rushed out of Fluttershy's eyes as she struggled against the chains. She screamed for help. *** Zephyr continued to run. He tripped over and began to pant. 'Fluttershy...' Author's Note In the earlier chapters I forgot to describe RD falling through a hole. So...I did it now. xD
The Charm [Chapter 1]Rainbow Dash opened her magenta eyes and scanned the room around her. 'Where am I...?' a groan escaped her tired mouth; 'It looks like a classroom...' She looked at the old floorboards and stared at a black purse. She picked it up and opened it, revealing a small picture of herself. 'It's my student ID...' she said as a tiny piece of paper fell out. The pegasus picked up the torn paper and gasped once the memories returned. 'Of course!' *** 'It was a rainy evening after school...Just like this one...' An orange earth pony had began to tell the story of what once was an innocent school. A slight laugh escaped her mouth as she continued. 'A school nurse, known as Nurse Redheart, lost her footing at the top of a stairway and she fell to her death. Sombra, the school's principal, loved the school like it was his child; Unfortunately for him, the school was forced to close. Depression was filled inside of the principal, so he ended his life by jumping off the school roof.' The students began to hug each other due to the terrifying story. 'The school was called Crystal Empire Elementary School.' Applejack continued, 'Canterlot Academy, which is our school, was built on top of where it once stood. No one ever heard of that school again...' Zephyr Breeze began to shiver like a cold hoof had touched his shoulder. 'A-Are you sure, Applejack?' Applejack nodded gently. 'Yes, I am sure. Ponies also say that the Crystal Empire nurse was never found...She still lurks in these very hallways...' Zephyr gasped. Rainbow Dash began to giggle at the fright which was filling the young stallion and began to tease him. 'It's okay, Zephyr!' Zephyr was still scared, however. A tingle was tapping gently on his spine. 'Isn't it time we began to head home now...?' Twilight interrupted the turquoise pegasus. 'Continue with the story!' she said excitedly. 'I don't like the sound of this...' Zephyr breathed in to try and calm down. Pinkie giggled. 'Just relax, Zephyr. You'll live! If you keep making that face, Dashie won't like you!~' Rainbow Dash's face turned a soft red. 'Wha-? Pinkie!' Pinkie Pie ignored her friend and turned back to Applejack. 'Continue with the story!' 'Okay, okay! It's said that ponies will hear a knock on the classroom door. The door would slowly slide open and a pale face would come in and say: 'Is anypony in there...?'' KNOCK KNOCK The friends jumped and gasped as they heard the quiet knock. 'Did anypony hear that?' 'It was probably our imagination!' KNOCK KNOCK Caramel was getting annoyed. 'Applejack, stop messing with us!' Applejack gasped at the sudden blame 'I swear, it's not me! I can't even find the candle!' Rainbow Dash began to fly around the room, trying to find a switch. 'Where is the light switch?!' she shouted aloud. As she said that, the door began to slide open. 'Is anypony still in there...?' Screams echoed throughout the empty room as the lights turned on, revealing none other than Celestia. 'Did I scare you?' she giggled. Twilight gleamed happily at the sight of the teacher. 'Celestia!' Zephyr laughed nervously; 'I knew it wasn't a ghost!' Rainbow Dash glared at Zephyr Breeze, who was holding her wings. 'Watch where you put your hooves!' Zephyr blushed as he let go of Rainbow Dash's wings. 'S-Sorry! Don't kill me!' Celestia smile warmly. 'How long are you planning to stay here for? I told everypony to finish up the Summer Sun Celebration and head home.' A yellow pegasus with pink, long hair entered the room. She smiled happily at Zephyr as she ran over to him. 'Zephyr!' Zephyr smiled at his younger sister. 'Oh, hello Flutters! What are you doing here?' Celestia walked over to Zephyr. 'She came to give you an umbrella.' Rainbow Dash was confused about the sudden appearance. 'No way! Fluttershy is younger than Zephyr!' Fluttershy smiled gently. 'Thank you, everypony, for taking care of my brother.' Applejack broke the reunion as she pulled out a piece of paper in the shape of a pony. 'Could we do one last thing? It's a charm called Flurry Ever After. A friend of mine gave it to me. It bonds our friendship, so even when something bad happens, we will always be friends.' Applejack smiled gently at Twilight. The friends nodded and looked at Twilight, who was now beginning to cry tears of joy. Fluttershy looked at Zephyr. 'What's going on, Zephyr?' Zephyr looked down at his younger sister. 'She's transferring to Ponyville High, Flutters.' Twilight was on the edge of the crying cliff. She smiled at her friends. 'Thank you, everypony. I'll miss you so much!' Flash took out his phone and put the camera on. 'Come on, Twilight. How long are you going to cry? Give us a smile!' Twilight cleared away her tears and smiled at the small camera. Applejack put the charm down onto the floor. 'I want you all to get in a circle and say 'Flurryheart, we beg you' 9 times. It's 9 because each person has to chant it once.' 11 seconds later... Applejack opened her lime green eyes. 'Is everypony done?' Everyone nodded at Applejack which made her smile. 'Great! Now, each of you take a piece of the Flurryheart doll.' Everyone took a piece of the doll. 'What does it mean?' Twilight asked. 'It means that everyone is always connected.' Applejack answered. Pinkie's smile widened. 'I'm SOOO keeping mine safe!' The room suddenly began to shake violently; the ponies began to scream at the unexpected dilemma. As soon as they knew it, the floor began to break, making everyone fall into darkness. *** 'Oh.' Rainbow Dash once again looked around the pitch black classroom. Without warning, pain sprung into her hoof making her yelp. 'Ow! Must of sprained it.' She looked at the holes in the plain ceiling. She remembered that she fell down something; but what? She looked behind her and an urgent signal rushed into her brain. It was Pinkie; she was relieved that she wasn't alone, but was she okay? 'Pinkie? Pinkie Pie! Open your eyes!' A cough escaped the pink pony's mouth from the dust that she had breathed it. Rainbow Dash sighed in relief. 'I-Is it lunch break already? What's the matter, Dashie?' 'Don't you 'what's the matter?' me! Remember, we did that charm!' Realization hit Pinkie right in the face. 'Oh.' Pinkie looked around the new environment in confusion. 'Where are we?' 'I don't know, maybe the charm did this. We need to find everyone!' Pinkie once again ignored her rainbow friend. 'What if we were...kidnapped?' Rainbow hit herself in the face from the stupidity of her pink friend. She sighed knowing that it was Pinkie Pie that she was talking to right now, but it was soon stopped from a cry. Or was it a giggle? 'Pinkie...Did you hear that?' 'Hear what?' 'Nevermind...' The two walked into a hallway. If you just glanced at it for a few seconds, you could believe that it was endless! Pinkie's grin was wiped off from the sudden silence around her. 'It's to quiet...' she said. 'Yeah, whatever.' Rainbow Dash began to limp down the hallway, looking at all the tiny cracks filling the halls. Pinkie watched as her friend painfully walk across the floor. 'Dashie, what happened to your hoof?' 'I just sprained it.' 'Are you okay?' 'I'm fine.' 'Also, did the tables and chairs seem really tiny to you? This could be an elementary school!' 'Yeah...' The two began to walk down the eternal corridor until they found a small room. It was full of lockers, which were covered in dust and cobwebs, and...an exit! 'Dashie, Dashie! Look, an exit!' The blue pony looked at where her friend was bouncing. she rushed over to the door and tried to open it. 'Pinkie...' 'Yeah Dashie?' 'The door is locked.' 'Are you sure?' Pinkie hopped over to the door and tried to open it, once again failing to the only hope of home. Giggles once again filled the room, making Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie jump. 'W-We should find somewhere to rest.' 'Ya think, Pinks?' -Jump to Nurse's office- Pinkie wrapped a clean bandage around Rainbow's hoof. 'And done! How does it feel?' 'It...Actually feels much better. How did you-' 'Magic!' The two began to lay on the small bed. It was uncomfortable but it was better than nothing. 'H-Hey...Dashie?' Rainbow turned to Pinkie. 'Yeah Pinks?' 'From now and onwards, will we stay as friends?' Rainbow nodded. 'Of course! Nothing can get between us.' Pinkie giggle-snorted. 'Lets always stay together.' The two stayed silent for quite a while. 'Hey, Dashie? I think I left that paper-thing in the classroom. I'm going to go get it.' Pinkie said. Rainbow jumped off the bed. 'Let me come with yo-' 'Stay off of your hoof!' Pinkie scolded, but then smiled a few seconds later. 'I'll be back before you know it!' Pinkie left the medical room, but then quickly came back. 'Let's look for an exit together when I come back.' Pinkie left the room. 'Pinkie...' Dash began to look around the room. It was full of spiders, cobwebs and holes. Rainbow pulled a face like she tasted a sour apple. 'Let's always stay together.' Dash said, imitating Pinkie's voice. A clock chimed, making Rainbow freeze in her spot. 'W-What?! WHY CAN'T I MOVE?!' A white earth pony, wearing a nurse cap, began to fly over to Rainbow. 'Please...Don't kill anymore...' Rainbow felt like she had just been killed, coming to think of it, it could happen right now. Cold. That was the only bitter thing she could feel right now. In fact, it was the only thing she could feel right now. 'Pinkie! PINKIE HELP ME!' Author's Note I know in MLP, Fluttershy is older than Zephyr but I changed it so it suits the actual thing. Yeah...xD
I'm Sorry [Chapter 5]'You two are just adorable!' Twilight giggled along with the two young fillies in front of her. Celestia entered the small yet bright room and gasped. 'T-Twilight, those two fillies...' Twilight looked at her teacher and smiled. 'Celestia, there you are!' she turned back to the two fillies, pointed at Celestia and smiled. 'This is my teacher!' The two young fillies giggled quietly. 'I love going to school too!' Twilight exclaimed happily. Celestia was distraught at the sight she was seeing. 'Tw-Twilight...Snap out of it!' 'But Celestia, these young fillies aren't bad at all! I'm staying with them! 'But, Twilight, we need to find everyone; you're friends!' Twilight remembered. 'M-My friends...?' Before she could do anything, Twilight was picked up by her back hooves and into the air. She was dragged onto the wooden floor; making her scream painfully. Celestia rushed out and couldn't believe her eyes. Intestines and muscles cover the wall and blood was splattered everywhere. The back of Celestia's eyes began to sting as she fell to the floor. 'I-I couldn't save...my faithful student...' Creaking was heard behind her. Celestia turned around and before she knew it, she was knocked out. Author's Note The ghosts that Twiley was talking to were Applebloom and Scootaloo. Also, I know it's short but who cares?
Discord [Chapter 8]'Zephyr Breeze! Please...answer me...' The yellow pegasus began to cry. What if she never saw her brother again? What if...what if he was dead? 'Oh, it's you; Zephyr's little sister.' Fluttershy turned back around to see an orange pegasus with blue, spiky hair; it was Flash. 'You must be thinking that I've gone insane. I know I would if I saw someone doing this-' Flash hit a corpse with the crowbar that he was holding with his wing, '-to a corpse, huh?' Fluttershy squeaked gently as Flash viciously pulled out the crowbar. The yellow pony started shaking a tiny bit. 'So, what happened to your brother, Flutters?' 'Zephyr...disappeared...' '...You're shaking...Poor thing...Come here...I'll help you find him...' 'N-No...I'm fine...I can find him by myse-' 'I just said I'll help you find him!' Flash clenched his wing and smiled evilly. Fluttershy stood there in fright, watching one of the only friends she had found...killing... 'You don't understand...do you...? Just come here and let me help you!' Fluttershy yelped and choked on her saliva. She stepped back and began to run, away from this...monster... She ran to a nearby hiding place and began to try and camouflage with the darkness, which was quite difficult for a bright pony like her. 'Why are you running away...? Come on...Come out...' Flash sounded like a psycho in a horror movie...come to think of it...he could be... 'You made a promise to Twilight that day...We would always be together...That's why I want to give you the same look she has on my phone!' Fluttershy quietly sobbed in her hiding space. Tears raced down her now puffed out cheeks as she covered her mouth, trying to make her quiet. 'Zephyr...where are you...' Fluttershy whispered. 'Hoho, playing hide and seek, I see?' Fluttershy jumped and looked up to see a draconequus looking at her. 'You were saying Zephyr, my dear...but...' '...Y-Yes...! I got separated from my big brother!' The draconequus helped Fluttershy up, 'I'm looking for my sister, too. My name is Discord. Discord Chaos. I'm a 2nd year at Ponyville High.' 'I-I'm Fluttershy...' *** Discord and Fluttershy walked down the corridor. 'Did you perform the Flurry Ever After charm and get stuck here too?' Discord asked. 'Um...That's...I don't know...' 'I told you to COME HERE!' The two turned around to see Flash once again. His grin was insane as he held his crowbar. Fluttershy hid behind Discord. 'Isn't he an acquaintance of yours?' 'P-Please help me, Discord!' 'So that's why you were hiding...' Discord angrily looked at Flash, who held up his crowbar for defense, 'Who the hell are you?' Flash asked, 'Do you want to join Twilight in this phone as well? Hehe...That's WONDERFUL!' Discord protectively looked down at Fluttershy, 'You stay here, Fluttershy.' Discord ran over to Flash before stabbing him in the neck with the knife he had in his claw. Flash coughed up blood as Fluttershy gasped in shock. The knife cut deeper into the artery until Discord pulled the knife out. Blood sprayed all over his face before Flash fell onto the floor; dead. 'Your brother will always protect you...' Fluttershy gasped after Discord added on: 'After all, you are my precious, younger sister...'
What a Fright [Chapter 9]Discord took a picture of the dead Flash, with Flash's phone, before throwing it back to him. He smiled evilly as he turned to Fluttershy. 'We can't escape here. We're all going to die; I decided that our last final moments together...We shall die together as siblings...' Fluttershy began to panic. 'Don't panic, my dear. I'm just helping you...' *** The school began to shake. 'This is a big one!' Caramel began to scream. 'Caramel!' Rectangular pieces of wood began to fall off and crash down onto the pair. *** Rainbow Dash just sat there, holding the unconscious Pinkie in her arms. She didn't know what to do whilst her friend was not awake. RING RING Rainbow Dash looked up and got her phone. She was confused as to how the phone was working with no signal, but answered it anyway. 'Hello?' 'Please...Someone...Help me...' The blue pegasus gasped at the sound of the headteacher. She looked at her phone until she heard the sound of someone she knew. 'Dash?' 'F-Father? Father!' 'Dash, is that you?' 'Yes, father! It's me! 'Dash! Please, talk to me!' Rainbow Dash gasped. Could her father not hear her? 'Dash, let me at least hear your voice...Please!' 'Dad! Dad, can you not hear my voice?!' Rainbow Dash's dad began to cry. Dash heard this and felt her eyes get wet. 'P-Please...Dash...Say something!' No matter how many times the rainbow pony tried to speak to her father, he would not hear her. Soon enough, she heard a quiet beep and heard the headteacher talk to her once again. Rainbow Dash dropped her phone and began to cry from the fright that was fulfilling her. 'D-Dashie...? What's wrong...?' Rainbow Dash looked at her pink friend, who was smiling weakly at her. 'P-Pinkie, you're awake now!' Rainbow Dash hugged her friend from the pleasant sight of being happy again. Author's Note I know in the actual thing, Naomi's mum is the one who talks to her, but as no one really knows Rainbow's true mum, I put it as her dad. ouo
Huh? [Chapter 10]Zephyr Breeze sat on the mangled floor. 'They were only able to save one girl...Flurryheart...' The turquoise pegasus looked at the picture. It was a young, pink alicorn filly. 'Wasn't that the same filly from earlier? But...How? How would she be here as a ghost if she survived?' He looked at the other students pictures and sighed, 'I hope Flutters is okay...She was with that filly...' *** Fluttershy began running down the twisted corridor. She yelped for help, but no help came for her. 'One second, Fluttershy dear, I'll be there...' 'N-No! Zephyr!' Fluttershy continued to race down the nightmare. She was afraid of the dark, but she would prefer it more than this. 'I'm right here...my dear...' Fluttershy began to cry. She was going to die; she knew she was going to die. 'Zephyr...This way...' Fluttershy looked at the same pink alicorn as before. She smiled, knowing that she found someone she can trust. She followed the alicorn. 'Fluttershy, my adorable pony, where are you?~' Discord cooed, 'I'll kill you, my dear!' *** 'Ugh, of course the door is jammed.' Zephyr continuously tried to open the door, but no luck was found, 'I won't let this stop me!' 'To worry so much about someone...' Zephyr felt his bones shake. He turned around, only to see a white unicorn, 'Who are you?' 'I am Sweetie Belle, a ghost of somepony who died here a while ago.' she answered. Zephyr replied with a stuttered 'O-Oh...' 'Happiness and unhappiness share a link.' 'Oh?' 'You and your friends performed the Flurry Ever After charm. You did this to stay together, though someone messed it up.' 'Who?!' 'One of your friends chanted it one too many times.' 'No way! Everyone counted it 9 times!' Sweetie Belle shook her head. 'Maybe you did, but someone else didn't. Maybe they thought it would of been boring to do it correctly.' 'Eh?' 'If it was in fact not done on purpose then someone in your group was entirely too careless with it, wouldn't you agree?' Zephyr gasped. 'They must of never thought about something like this...' 'Stop with these lies!' Zephyr shouted angrily. 'I just want to remind you about the fact that the piece of paper you have...from the doll. It's really important. You must keep it safe.' 'I'm in an hurry; please leave me alone now.' 'You're really noble; your feelings for your friends are really strong.' 'Oh?' 'The charm comes from your heart - someones feelings.' Sweetie Belle began to chant some words which Zephyr couldn't understand. Her horn glowed as she began to make him disappear. Zephyr gasped. 'S-Stop it!'
Returning (P3) [Chapter 13]'Flurryheart...Why is it you?' Flurryheart giggled insanely, 'Heeeeen~ I'm going to kill you now, okay?' Before the orange earth pony could do anything, a pair of scissors hit her straight in the eye. Blood drooled down from her eye as pain rushed through her. Screams escaped her mouth as Flurryheart quickly pulled her pear green eye out. With her only eye left, Applejack looked at the cowering Sombra in the corner before being knocked out once again. *** 'Applejack, Applejack!' Applejack opened her eyes. Her eyes were blurred from the tears that were pouring down like rain on a cold evening. She looked up at Caramel, who was worryingly looking at her back. He sighed in relief as he hugged her gently. 'You up to telling me what you saw?' He asked her. Applejack looked at Caramel right in the eyes gently, nodding. 'Those kids...They were killed by someone else...' 'Hm?' 'The confession...it was from the wrong person.' 'Seriously...?' Applejack nodded; tears drying slowly as she did so. 'I witnessed...Applebloom's death...The real murderer is Flurryheart...The pink alicorn in the newspaper.' Caramel squeaked in disbelief, 'There's no way she could of kidnapped 3 children her age. It has to be that ma-' 'Sombra was there as an accomplice. It was still actually Flurryheart who murdered all the foals with scissors, and he just sat in the corner cowering while it happened. I don't know why he would of helped, but that's not important right now.' Applejack's frown turned into a more serious face, 'We need to tell Rainbow Dash and the others. If they get anywhere near Flurry...' Applejack shivered gently. She turned back to Applebloom, who pulled a straight face - wondering on what's going on. 'Applebloom, I need you to take me back.'
Returning (P4) [Chapter 14]'You want to do WHAT NOW?!' Caramel yapped continuously at the stupid idea Applejack had just mentioned aloud; Applejack ignored him. 'I promise I'll put you and the others to rest at last, Applebloom.' Applebloom's orange eyes shone in the bright light. She looked up at Applejack in a serious way, 'You know, you shouldn't go back. There was you and your friends messing around so much and all that, the spaces we victims were holding together got all unbalanced. If you were to go back...' Applejack carefully crouched down to Applebloom's height. She stared into her eyes and smiled, 'Applebloom...' 'If I take you there, I don't know if you'll be able to come back...' Applejack gasped quietly. Caramel was protective; 'You really want to go back...?' 'Let's go, Caramel. We need to save our frien-' 'I'm sorry, but I'm OUT!' Applejack's gasp got louder, 'C-Caramel...' 'Just going back to that place is insane! THAT PLACE IS A DEATH TRAP, THAT'S ALL IT IS. HOW CAN YOU NOT GET THAT, APPLEJACK?!' 'Oh yeah, screw everyone else and keep yourself safe; HOW SELFISH CAN YOU BE?!' 'Applejack, nothing you say will change my mind. I'm to young to die-' 'Well, I'll just go by myself then! I guess I was wrong about ya! If Rainbow Dash was here, she would probably go and save us too!' 'I don't care.' Caramel turned around and eyed the wall. 'Weakling! Coward! Spineless!' 'SHUT UP, APPLEJACK!' Applejack gasped. Caramel continued to blabber on about the whole argument. Applejack rolled her eyes in annoyance, 'Now hold on, why would you even say a thing like that to me, huh?! Well guess what, I'm going!' The freckled pony turned to Applebloom and smiled. 'Please, take me back there alone.' Applejack said, making alone bold and clear. 'I understand.' Applebloom began to make a hole to the other realm. Applejack started to walk in. 'You know, I'm just about afraid of death as you are.' she said to Caramel before disappearing, leaving Caramel alone.
Torture (P2) [Chapter 16]Fluttershy began to choke on her own saliva once again. She couldn't scream anymore. Her eye was torn out and her back hooves were stabbed multiple times. She began to cry with the only eye she had left. 'I see...' Discord aimed the knife perfectly at her chest - at her heart. He began to pushed the knife in slowly. Fluttershy tried to scream at the pain that was rushing through her veins. She was going to die. 'STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!' A familiar pony hit Discord in the head, killing him. The pony turned to Fluttershy; it was Caramel. 'Fluttershy! Hang in there, don't die.' grrraaaaaaaggghhhh... Caramel jumped and turned around. 'It's Sombra...' Applejack rushed in, 'Fluttershy!' she turned to Caramel, 'Caramel, is that you?!' 'Applejack! Take care of Fluttershy!' 'Got it!' Applejack quickly grabbed Fluttershy and rushed out of the room. AHHHHHHHHHH! 'Caramel!' Applejack gasped in worry. She turned to the door and saw Caramel limp out - eye gone. 'Applejack...Go!' 'But Caramel-' 'Hurry and get out of here! I sure as hell didn't come back here to protect myself!' Before he could do anything, Sombra soon stabbed him in the stomach. Then the mouth... Applejack screamed. 'Fluttershy! Applejack!' Applejack turned around to see Zephyr Breeze. 'What happened?' grraaaaggghhhhh... 'R-Run!' Zephyr screamed. *** Fluttershy weakly laid in Zephyr's arms. Zephyr covered her up with his wings and looked down at her. 'Zeph...yr...' Tears started to escape out of Zephyr. 'Lets...go...ho...me...to...ge...ther...' Before he knew it, Fluttershy's eye began to slowly close. She smiled as she passed on in his arms, into a new home. Zephyr began to clench his teeth as he balled his tears. 'I-I'm sorry...Fluttershy...'
